I just installed a bitcoin client on my PC , a was thinking before i download my wallet from blockchain.info, If someone has access to my PC or if i am infected by a virus will this compromise allow my bitcoin to be stolen?

Yes, the file containing you wallet can be stolen that way, but put a very hard to break password on it and you'll be fine for a while. The time and effort wouldnt be worth the thief's time for stealing whats in your account.
